Set in the shadowy hills of Appalachia, this haunting bluegrass ballad tells the tale of a young girl’s victimization at the hands of a corrupt local power. As the town remains silent, justice arrives in an unexpected form—lightning bugs that illuminate the truth in the night sky, spelling out a word no one dares to speak aloud. Blending mystery, sorrow, and Appalachian folklore, this song weaves a chilling reminder that no sin stays hidden forever.

This simple folk song imagines the reflections of Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus, as he nears the end of his life. Looking back on all the journeys and uprooted moments he lived through—Nazareth, Bethlehem, Egypt, and beyond—Joseph realizes every step was leading him Home. Now preparing for his final journey into eternity, he shares this quiet, heartfelt song.

Closer Home

A worshipful celebration of God’s presence in creation, “Holy Breath of Life” blends contemporary praise with imagery of wind in the trees, roaring waves, night sounds, and the dawn chorus. Centered on the Hebrew idea of Ruach—the breath of God—this song invites listeners to join all creation in lifting praise to the One who gives life and breath to every living thing.

Holy Breath of Life

When everyone marches behind a ruler bound for ruin, a voice has to stand firm and sing what’s true.  A protest anthem with echoes of the 1960s—Barabbas’ Throne.

Barabbas’ Throne

I wrote this song on a long road trip across the United States. As I traveled, I found myself thinking about the ancient peoples who walked these lands long before we ever called it “America.” Different waves of Native American migration, tribes that flourished and tribes that vanished, stories that were forgotten or replaced. And I wondered how different the story looks depending on who is telling it.

At the same time, I was thinking about ministry—about living under the constant gaze of others. In ministry, everyone has an opinion about who you are, what you should do, or what you should have done. It’s a life lived in a glass house, always under someone’s eyes.

These two ideas—ancient people being seen, and me as a pastor being seen—blended together. The eyes, the stories, the perspectives. Who tells the story? Who gets called “new” or “old”? Who sees whom, and how clearly do any of us see?

I love this country. I want to see all 50 states. Every landscape, every community, every story. America is a song much older and longer than most people realize. And it goes on and on.

America's Song

"Get Up!" is a gritty, hard-hitting beat with distorted guitar riffs and pounding drums, setting up an intense, hardcore rap vibe. The feel is no-nonsense, motivational, and straight to the point.  It's time to get and get moving!

Get Up!

I'm a pastor, dad, husband, and child of God.  I'm broken, but  blessed. The cracks are where the Light shines through.

My mission is to help people grow closer to God with every breath and step I take. I gave my life to Christ at an early age and have grown closer through the years, spurred on by the study of the Bible, my church family, and the Chrysalis and Walk to Emmaus Communities. I accepted the call to full -time ministry as a pastor in 1999 and have served 4 different churches in Georgia. Music, preaching, and teaching are the heart of my ministry.

Outside of the pulpit, I enjoy many hobbies that help me blow off steam.  These include martial arts, woodworking, blacksmithing, gardening, cooking, and being creative.  I'm a jack of all trades and a master of none.  My philosophy is use what you have, do it yourself if you can, learn something in the process, and have lots of fun.  This channel is a place to share it all with you.
